/^t/Furthermore, poetry is diverse: there are many kinds of it. Poets are different ( their attitude towards life and their work ). They also differ from poets who lived a few decades or centuries ago; thus, their writing is also different. It is shaped by present times, by events which occur every day in various parts of the world, and by people who live here and now. Therefore, what poets write is closely connected with the world, and so also with readers and their lives. The image of a romantic poet, living somewhere above the crowd, may be still present in people's minds; however, modern poets live just like everybody else, and they are only ordinary people. They have jobs and their own families, and they write about it. In addition, poems, just like their authors, differ: there are various kinds of poems, written on different topics and to different audiences so that everybody might find what he or she likes and understands best.
